*'''Using a cheat''' = -10 | ** This is linked to the statistics "People killed since last checkpoint" and "Total legitimate kills" (in Stats > Crimes) instead of increasing immediately the rating, going to what the game defines to be a "checkpoint" (Finishing a mission, going to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]], or [[Save points|saving the game]]) is required to trigger the criminality point increase (and thus your total legitimate kills), with the amount of points obtained depends on the amount of kills this stat gives (for an example, 5 kills on the said statistic will increase by 5 points the rating after going to the Pay'n'spray). Once the point increase has been applied, the game counts this action as a "checkpoint", resetting the stat "Number of people killed since last checkpoint", increasing the "Total legitimate kills" stat by the value obtained before attaining the checkpoint.<br> | ||

<!--For an example, let's say you have 10500 criminality points, if you killed 17 people, your stat "Number of people killed since last checkpoint" will be of 17, but when you go to a Pay'N'Spray, this stat is reset to 0 and your criminality points increase by 17 and you have 10517 points in total.--> | <!--For an example, let's say you have 10500 criminality points, if you killed 17 people, your stat "Number of people killed since last checkpoint" will be of 17, but when you go to a Pay'N'Spray, this stat is reset to 0 and your criminality points increase by 17 and you have 10517 points in total.--> | ||

*'''Destroying any other vehicle''' = +0 (Empty vehicles don't reward you anything. Destroying ground vehicles with a driver and/or passengers in it grants you points only because you killed the peds inside. Privileged targets are cop cars with 2 cops in it, [[Enforcer|SWAT trucks]] and [[FBI Rancher]]s with 4 agents each in them. Randomly on the road, you will also find some 4-doors with multiple passengers in them. Shoot them on sight if you want!) | |||

* Sadly, though, completing everything, even with keeping all the money, won't make you go to the million points. You must know that maxed money alone is worth 199,999 points only in the score, you'll need obviously more to attain the million. | * Sadly, though, completing everything, even with keeping all the money, won't make you go to the million points.

* If you're worried about your accuracy, note that you will get points from killing with vehicle weapons (the [[Hunter]]'s minigun, the [[Rhino]]'s cannon, etc...) without effect on your accuracy as you didn't fire bullets from your own weapons. Using explosives do not count either - rockets, grenades, satchels each are counted in the "Kgs of explosives used", not in "bullets fired". Blast away! | |||
If you wish to increase your criminal rating using other ways, your only solution is to get into a fight with the system and start making a killing spree. Here are a few tips if you want to "start a one-man war".<!--Arcade-like fun IMHO, as you have one chance at a time to score lots of points and "cash" them by using the checkpoint methods.--> | If you wish to increase your criminal rating using other ways, your only solution is to get into a fight with the system and start making a killing spree.
